"Talk about bullshit... Guns are NOT sport... they are for KILLING... Plain and simple... Killing humans is what they were invented for... "

It may interest you to know that my firearms have not taken part in any human exterminations, nor will they. Here is what my firearms have done:

At my hand, my firearms have provided many a fine meal to many people.

At my hand, my firearms have provided more than one fine coat and hat (from the same deer we ate, nothing went to waste.)

At my hand, my firearms have provided protection from a drunken and dangerous man, who was detained untill the authorities could remand him to the appropriate facility.

I have spent many a plesant afternoon in fellowship while at hunt (legal and in-season, of course), and engaged in shooting competitions. Many a freind was made at such events, and glad I am to know them.

Other people may view firearms as a means to killing other people, but I, sir, do not.
